In a hot frying pan, toast the farro in olive oil to a light colour to release its nutty flavour; add the shallots.

Add the hot stock in two additions, stirring every so often until cooked through. Cream or butter can be added at the end; here it is left out.
- egg
Coat a ramekin with parmigiano reggiano, add the egg and bake in a water bath 8 to 10 minutes, keeping the yolk runny.
